Free agent DeShawn Stevenson wrote on Saturday, "Miami Heat Where I Wanna Go!!!"

He followed that up by asking LeBron to "make it happen," which is ironic since Stevenson, as a member of the Mavericks in 2011, called LBJ "overrated" (and wore a T-shirt after the Finals which read, "Hey LeBron! How's My Dirk Taste?"). Stevenson's ailing knee kept him out of back-to-back games last year, but he should have enough gas in the tank to earn a one-year minimum deal in Miami or somewhere else.

Stevenson appeared in 56 games for the Hawks last season, averaging 5.1 points while playing 20.7 minutes a night. He had two years and roughly $4.4 million remaining on his contract, so expect the buyout to be around that amount. Stevenson is known as a defensive stopper, but his offensive ineptitude will keep his market cool. Over the last four seasons, he's shot 34.6 percent (321-of-927) from the field.

DeShawn Stevenson (cold) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Stevenson doesn't play on both sides of back-to-backs anyway, so he'll rest in this one. He could be back for his usual 15-20 minutes in Wednesday's regular-season finale. Jeff Teague, Devin Harris and John Jenkins will form that Hawks' three-guard rotation Tuesday. Tue, Apr 16, 2013 06:43:00 PM

DeShawn Stevenson (knees) was scoreless in 13 minutes vs. the Nets on Saturday.

The Hawks threw a bit of a curveball this weekend, benching DeShawn on Friday in the first game of a back-to-back set. He shouldn't be in fantasy lineups, regardless of his availability, and we anticipate a few more random DNPs in the coming five weeks.

DeShawn Stevenson dislocated his left middle finger against in Friday's game and he returned three minutes into the second quarter.

The X-rays were negative and finished with five points and not much else in 12 minutes. Stevenson is more of a role player and since he sits out to rest quite a bit, there's not much reason to pick him up in almost any league.

Depth Charts

Hardaway banged his knee on Wednesday bit appears to have avoided even a minor injury. With Kent Bazemore (knee) sidelined, Hardaway will start at shooting guard for Atlanta. THJ has scored in double-figures in five of Atlanta's last six games, but brings little to the table besides points.

Tiago Splitter will miss at least six more weeks with a right calf strain.

He was nearing a return from his latest hamstring issue, so this is a new injury. Splitter also had hip surgery last season and just can't seem to stay healthy. He may not be in the rotation when he returns because Mike Muscala has been fantastic.
